DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201603560 can be at the origin of the cellulosic solid films' colors,
which also varies with the viewing angle. Usually the solid films are prepared from isotropic …

Circularly polarized light (CPL) is central to photonic technologies. A key challenge lies in
developing a general route for generation of CPL with tailored chiroptical activity using low …

Cellulose is an abundant and sustainable biopolymer that has gained renewed interest in
materials science.[1] It is produced in the cell wall of many plants via condensation …

Cellulose nanocrystals are natural nanomaterials with a high aspect ratio, high specific area,
excellent stability, and favorable optical performances. Cellulose nanocrystals can form …

Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) films were patterned by controlling the evaporation time of
CNC suspensions. It is known that the evaporation time, and by extension the self-assembly …

One property of sulfated cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is their ability to self-assemble from
a concentrated suspension under specific drying conditions into an iridescent film. Such …

The study reports the morphology and optical properties of a variety of cellulose
nanocrystals (CNC) obtained from different natural sources with different dimensions and …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), produced by the acid hydrolysis of wood, cotton or other
cellulose-rich sources, constitute a renewable nanosized raw material with a broad range of …

Biomimetics is the field of obtaining ideas from nature that can be applied in science,
engineering, and medicine. The usefulness of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and their …

Layered transparent photonic stacks are known to give rise to highly brilliant color in a
variety of living organisms.[1] The biomimetic replication of these structures not only offers a …
